Hawksbill turtle

NIP resort owners ensure survival of endangered turtle

Resort owners and staunch environmental conservationists, Dietmar and Ange Amon, have been using their own time and resources to ensure the survival of the critically endangered hawksbill sea turtles.

“At this stage we don't know how many turtles survive when we release them into the sea. But we hope that through our many awareness campaigns, our local people and visitors can respect these important sea creatures and allow them to breed and live long lives,” said Ange.

The couple usually retrieve the eggs from their nesting site on the nearby Raul Island.
